Just received a lovely box of wool from Sandy Ryan filled with suri alpaca, East Fresian wool, Romney and llama. Delicious colors and softness. Yesterday I spun up bunches and it is hanging outside drying now.

Actually, am excited about finishing a sweater that I started and have let languish over the past months. I just need to complete one and half sleeves and the trim. Can't wait for it to be done.

As Fall approaches, I am finally feeling much better and stronger so am able to be up and around more and am getting things done. It makes me so happy to be improving at last!

About Me

My early years were spent in the redwoods of Northern California. I come from a long tradition of gifted artists and needlewomen, so my love of fibery things comes naturally. Part of my childhood was spent on a farm where my favorite animals were the sheep, of course! I have always sort of made things up as I went along, a born designer I suppose.
Over the years, I've enjoyed teaching a range of fiberarts ranging from quilting, spinning, dyeing, knitting and crocheting as well as millinery techniques through Parks and Recreation, junior colleges and upscale yarn shops. This continues to be my greatest joy.
